Has anyone tried shilajit?

As the title says

Has anyone tried it and had benefits from it?

Never heard of it.

I use it almost daily. Its part of my foundation of nutrients.

It’s amazing how every year, new "miracle" supplements emerge, claiming to solve most of our problems and make us feel at our best.

In 2015 it was spirulina, in 2016 aloe vera, in 2017 Peruvian maca, in 2018 baobab, and so on…

I’m not here to criticize this latest supplement, to be clear, but the point I want to make is that every time a new one comes out, it’s hyped like a celebrity.

And unsurprisingly, these supplements often end up being disappointing.

There’s a reason why supplements like protein and magnesium never go out of fashion—it’s because they simply work.

In my opinion, a substance is only truly valuable if science has had the chance to test it thoroughly in serious studies.

I took it for a few years, as part of a big regimen of supplements.

I never noticed anything good or bad from it. I stopped taking it when the company I ordered from was having trouble restocking it. Never noticed anything good or bad from stopping.

Doesn’t mean there is no value, but like most of this kind of supplement, the research points to some preventative applications that won’t really ever be noticed if the supplement helps prevent something like Alzheimer’s.

What is your reason for asking about it? Do you have a goal in taking it?

I take it but not every day. I rotate it with other things like pine pollen beet powder and tongat ali. I have a different powder every day so my body never adapts to them and becomes immune to their effects.

It popped up in a lecture once on FB. just was curios. Where I live, it is under the name (Altai) MUMIO, tar pressed in to 200mg tablets. price is like 5€ for 30tablets.

I have taken it like almost a month now 400-600mg a day, solved in water. Tastes like tar shampoo. What i have noticed that when I take too late, I will have problems begin to sleep. But when I sleep, then I have no dreams. I read that it is a natural stimulant.

Also there is a post pumping morning wood almost after every pumping session. Could be a coincidence.
